A SENSATION.

why is it that three bottles of B. B. B. are
sold in Atlanta TO one OF any other blood
remedy, and twice as much consumed in the
State of Georgia as any other preparation?
No one need take our word, but simply ask the
druggists. Ask the people They are compe-
tent witnesses. Six houses in Atlanta are buy
ing B. b. b. in five and ten gross lots, and
some OF them buy as often as every two
months. Why these unprecedented sales here
at home with so little advertising? Modesty
forbids us making a reply. Had b. b. b. been
before the public quarter or half a century,
it would not be necessary to be bOlstered up
with crutches of page advertisements. Merit
will conquer and down money.

A PITTsBURG grocer has had the bust
ness firmIess and honesty to refuse pay
ment for lot Of spices represented
pure, but which turned out to be adul-
teratiOns. The seller sues him. 1t now
remains to be seen how far the courts
will aid him in resisting the fraud.
There are other things than railroad.
pooling that bear heavily on the con-
sumers Of this country. Stringent laws
against food authorizations, rigidly en-
forced, would do something to correct
one class Of evils. Let the penalty for
selling adulterated goods be confiscation
and put the whole business under ban,
and some definite results may be
reached, with patience and perseverance,
in ferreting out the transgressors and
bringing them to justice.
The commission appointed by the leg
islsture OF New York, after making an
exhaustive inquest into the whole ques-
tion of capital punishment, having
taken the testimony Of judges, sheriffs,
jailors innumerable, arrive quite posi-
lively at their conclusion. This is,
that the present mode of inflicting cap
ital punishment is neither effective nor
impressive, or in any way satisfactory.
From this opinion q demurrer might be
successfully entered, as far as its being
effective. No one so far experimental
upon has complained Of Its not being
effective; and, as to its being satisfac-
tory, one would hardly expect to make
killing satisfactory to the victim.
The most favorable changes could hard
ly do that. If the commission had re-
ported that hanging was a barbarous
practice, disgrace to civilization and
did not deter from crime, the report
would have been true. Hanging is
merely an expeditions way OF getting
rid Of a hard case for whose sofLening
the philanthropy and christianity of the
world has made no provision.
